TMS570LS31x HDK Kit

The TMS570LS31x Hercules Development Kit (HDK) is ideal for evaluating and starting development with the Hercules platform of safety microcontrollers. The kit is comprised of a development board, a DC power supply, a mini-B USB cable, and Ethernet cable and a software installation DVD. The development board features an on board XDS100v2 JTAG emulator along with access to several key communication and peripheral interfaces. The HDK features:

• 337p BGA TMS570LS3137 MCU, on board
• On Board USB XDS100v2 JTAG
• On Board SCI to USB Serial
• 20pin ARM and MIPI JTAG connectors
• 6 White NHET LEDs
• 2 Tri-Color RGB NHET LEDs
• 8MB SDRAM (EMIF)
• Ambient light and temp sensor
• 2 CAN transceivers
• 1 RJ-45 ethernet port
• 1 Micro SD card slot (SPI mode)
